I have a John Deere LT155 with a Kohler CV15S Engine. The Spec number is 41594. It looks like John Deere would order a new spec of that engine for each model Year. Can anybody tell me what Specs of that engine will act as a direct replacement and where I might find the engine? I called Kohler and they directed me to a distributor who then directed me to a dealer who had no idea what I was talking about. John Deere will only sell the short block and I think I need a bit more than that.

Hi,
I will give a few:
Kohler Replacement Small Engines (http://www.smallenginesuppliers.com/shop/html/pages/kohler_vertical_engines.html)
Kohler Engine Search by Small Engine Warehouse (http://www.smallenginewarehouse.com/ProductList.asp?HP=15&Category=Engine&Supplier=Kohler&Mounting=Vertical) (Courage w/ fuel pump or 17HP Command)
Kohler 16 HP CV16S-43510 - Replacement Engine For Select Simplicity Mowers (http://tewarehouse.com/PA-43510) (should)
You need fuel pump, oil filter, no muffler and 15 Amp charging.Peace,
